On the third day of ongoing protests in Delhi, law enforcement authorities detained hundreds of demonstrators. The protesters are calling for the removal of Gyanesh Kumar from his position. The demonstrations have persisted for several days, reflecting growing public dissatisfaction regarding the official's tenure.

Among those detained by police was Neha, a journalist who has been a vocal participant in the protests. Neha is also known for having previously filed sexual harassment allegations against a police officer. While the report confirms her detention alongside the larger group of protesters, it does not explicitly state whether her detention was related to her prior legal complaints or solely due to her participation in the current demonstration.

The situation remains tense as the protest enters its third day. Authorities have maintained a heavy presence in the area to manage the crowds and enforce public order. The specific reasons for the demand for Gyanesh Kumar's removal were not detailed in the available reporting, leaving the underlying motivations of the protest group largely unaddressed in this initial coverage.
